So what its only one song. Maybe younger performers consider it a honor to perform with the veteran Stones. I remember reading many times about quotes from a young Stones group that was thrilled to meet their idols and musicians they grew up listening to. The opportunity to perform with them has to be a thrill of a lifetime.

She performed fine!

Maybe so but what did it add?

Jesus, some of you people sound like you're either 15 years old or 80.
Maybe you should all go to the show together, stand in front and boo Katy, like they did Justin Timberlake in 2003.
And then Keith can scream at you to shut the @#$%& up because you're all meatheads.
I would pay to see that.

they should just give Taylor more slots..

For what they're charging, I want 2 1/2 hours of pure, undiluted Stones. No special guests whatsoever, especially the pop teenyboppers like Gwen Stefani and Katy Perry.

I would have thought that the Waits guest spot might have been good, but the actual performance was a sloppy mess.

This is what I don't get. People are willing to pay $500 to see the Rolling Stones, but they don't want to see the Rolling Stones enough not to have to have a "contemporary" special guest to make it worth their while? Makes no sense.

Well, there you go again Tele. I admit I used to be full negativity as well...just a few days ago in fact. But then, tonight, it just hit me. I mean if I go back and listen to YaYasa or Brussels now, its just no comparison really, I mean besides Taylor alternately destroying or adding nothing to the band's sound, the gaping deficit is we just don't have any Kate Perrys on those old records. Now, I'm just happy to be here, happy to be anywhere.

oh, I see a thread has already been started on this.. anyway, here's my post from the main Vegas thread:

having Katy Perry guest on Beast of Burden is sacrilege! The only way that would have been worthwhile is that if Mick f'ck'd her during Keith's set and then they showed the highlights during Satisfaction.

After doing a bit of research it seems Katy Perry has 53 MILLION fans on Facebook. From a filling up the seats standpoint, the move is a stroke of pure genius. She will attract some of the really teeny bopper crowd and their parents. A very smart business move, hats off to whomever thought this up.

This board gets the same foolish comments from the same people all the time. The setlist sucks, the guests suck (I'd rather not have the guests either but it does not ruin the show for me), Keith and Ronnie can't play anymore, Mick's voice is thin, Charlie has become stiff.....................blah blah blah. Why do you continue to stay here?? it;s not 1972 anymore these guys are 70 and playing the songs that are always on the radio and what most people who go want to hear. Each show has had ay least one new song in the set. San Jose's setlist was really good and are you expecting a big change in Las Vegas?? Please this a highroller/tourist town. If they brought out Down In the Hole or Stoned people would look at each other and go WTF. I am sick of the negative remarks. Just to go and see Nick Jagger perform and sing at the level he is at two months shy of his seventieth birthday is something we should appreciate not bash. Whoever posted the photo of Katy Perry's foot Thank You!!
